hi beanies! it’s been suuuuuuch a long time. I hope you’ve all been well! just wanted to know if anyone is on top of what’s happening right now with xiao zhan and the whole ao3 issue? i’m so worried about the situation and i don’t have weibo/can’t read mandarin so it’s a bit hard to grasp what exactly is going on :/

    Here is pretty good , and relatively unbiased (for the most part) explanation of the issue…..

    At the end of the day when it all boils down, as Xiao Zhan fans—as fans of ANYONE or ANYTHING— the artist is the one who will need to pick up the slack and answer to all the things that us as fans decided to spread on the artist’s behalf, and so, with that said, spread kindness, love, and positivity as much as you can 🤗🤗🤗 Don’t bother paying attention to all the negativity surrounding this situation, don’t engage in any debates (even if it’s for the sake of trying to defend Xiao Zhan), don’t try to clap back when someone says something mean. Anything that we, as Xiao Zhan’s fans, say or do WILL be used out of context and WILL be twisted and used against us and against him no matter how hard we press in trying to keep things civil, so just don’t do it 👌🏻👌🏻

      thanks for the link! and yes, definitely re: setting the negativity aside and not engaging with it. I just hope no one gets hurt in the crossfire.

        If I am to be honest— damage to Xiao Zhan has already been made and he’s already been hurt in the crossfires his image has already taken a hit 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰
        And as of late last night, my time (so ~ midday China), there already have been news sites and entertainment news blogs that have come out with articles saying that some of the brands that he’s a spokesperson for have already started being boycotted by people 😰😰😰😰😰😰
